Easy Chicken Cacciatore

Simple and healthy.

Gracie - December 20, 2006 12:46:39 PM PST

I made this recipe last night. I quadrupled it to make a big enough batch. I used canned peeled tomatoes, but used fresh green beans.
For the bell pepper I used yellow, red, orange, and green to give it a lot of color and extra nutrition. I will definitely make this again often. I've made cacciatore before but this is simple and not over-cooked. The veggies still had flavor and texture. The only reason for giving it 4 stars is that it is very basic--nothing extraordinary--but a perfect weeknight recipe.
Thank you very much!

Awesome: Add some Cannellini Beans

Try adding a can of cannellini beans to this recipe. It turns out to be a great addition. Also, try a can of San Marzano style tomatoes and hand crush them instead of the plain tomatoes. Adds that Basil flovor. Abondonza...

This is a pretty good recipe, but if I make it again I think I would serve it over rice.

A nice twist

I think that this is a really good recipe but it is even better if you fix it the proper way with sauce instead of whole tomatoes. I would include the greens but leave out the tomatoes and make a sauce instead. Sorry was married to an Italian and he wouldn't have liked this dish.

A true cacciatore consists of onions, pepper, and mushrooms in a tomato sauce. This is a mislabel recipe/ It may be a decent casserole, but it has no right to take on a traditional name without first having the proper ingredients. A previous review also stated this only to have a different user point to another review wherein the user stated that this was a superior cacciatore because the veggies were not over cooked. That is a problem of technique and not recipe, and certainly not a point of authority.

Wow

I made this tonight, and I was thoroughly impressed. It was delicious. I omitted the bell peppers, though, because I...suck. It was very tasty. I actually used canned tomatoes (which had green peppers and celery in them), drained them, and did everything according to the recipe. It was incredible. I know this may be seen as sac religious to some, but I served it over rice, and they complimented each other perfectly. I will definitely be making this for the family this Winter. :)

I made this for my fiance and myself tonight, and both of us loved it. We're on a fitness program that has a very strict diet, and I'm always looking for recipes that are healthy *and* taste good. I used no-salt tomato sauce, substituted sliced mushrooms and zucchini for the green beans, and threw in a dash of Splenda to cut down on the tomatoes' acidity. I served it over whole wheat couscous with some fresh basil and Parmesan on top. This is soooo delicious, and very hearty.

This is NOT a recipe for chicken cacciatore!!!

Marine mom - December 17, 2007 07:30:46 PM PST

Obviously those that tried this recipe have never had real chicken cacciatore. Yuck, yuck...YUCK ! No I haven't tried this recipe because I know how to make real chicken cacciatore. Why did I check the recipe out? Because I wanted to see what made it 'easy'. Real chicken cacciatore is not hard to make and tastes alot better than this crap ever could!! Don't use this joke of a recipe!!
